Re: Teeth + Dry food verus Wet food


well one of our cat is 9 years old and she never had any problems with her teeth - I feed her wet food and she always has some kibbles. She is an outdoor cat tho and is a real hunter so I guess she keeps her teeth clean by munching on mouse and birds..
Our other cat is 6 yrs and is an indoor only. She eats only kibbles (Orijen and Felidae) and doesn't want to eat anthing else tho i would be more happy if she did - she doesnt even eat meat. She never had any problems with teeth or others...

Our dog is 11 and he almost never gets kibble - he gets home cooked (doesn't eat raw meat) and occasional bones and kibble and my vet said his teeth are as he was 6 yrs So, I guess kibbles are not that important to keep your animals teeth clean...I also think it has a lot to do with genetics and i also read some study (but don't remember where) about wet food being actually better for your dogs (cats too i suppose) teeth than kibbles...

Since Cassie had to go in for a full Dental two years ago, I've always used Dentagen in her drinking water and Plaque Off sprinkled on her food. It helps protect against bad breath, tartar and plaque which would normally cause sore gums and maybe lead to teeth decay.
